That looks pretty fantastic.
Lovely shine, lovely colour, nice spec and I do like the red accents on the FL GTI leather :afro:

2nd that you more or less took the words out my mouth lol fantastic job... :grin:

Stunning car.
Reassures me that I've picked the right colour for my soon to arrive new R :wink:

That’s one great looking GTI. Indium Grey looks lovely, even on a dull day.
-
Looks fab!
I take it you are well chuffed with your colour choice after umming and ahhing over it. Lovely.
-
+? Looking really smart :smiley: Be interested to hear how you settle in post R ownership.
-
Thanks all :smiley: Really liking the colour :cool:
I had a Indium Grey Scirocco and I am not alone in thinking it looked a different shade than on the Golf. I don’t know whether it’s the red details or the shape of the car and the way the light reflects but it doesn’t seem anywhere near as greeny grey that the Scirocco did :undecided:
Either way, I am really pleased with the overall fit and finish on my car and am loving the digital dash noticing little things all the time like the green trace on the speedo when you engage the ACC it shows any difference in the speed from which you set it at. Also the seats. Photos don’t do them justice as the red perforations are nowhere near as red as the photos show them and in reality are very subtle and I personally love them 😍
More observations in due course 🤓

I think you are right about the red accents with that colour that make it look so good.

I think it looks as green as carbon grey does in certain lights which surprise me :shocked:

Hey you stole my car but thanks for washing it :wink:
Actually I washed mine this afternoon as well and it's now tucked up in the garage gleaming. It was horribly dirty this morning but looking great now, won't last long though as zero temps tonight means the gritters are out throwing the dirt and gunge they call grit onto the roads. :angry:

Does look fantastic, love the way they are doing the leather seats now with red ascents. Should look great on the R with the black bits.
-
Car looks great, are those 90% tints?

Yes.

I'm a massive fan of black but that grey could change me. Your car looks stunning!
-
Car looks amazing :laugh:
What footrest is that? Looks really good. Would like to have a look if you have a link
-
Any chance of a photo of the leather seats? They look much better than the older type leather.

I originally ordered it as Deep Black Pearl but bottled it and changed it to Indium Grey before it was too late. Pretty pleased with my gut instinct :smiley:

I’ll take a couple tomorrow for you 👍

Car looks fantastic, really love the colour. It's quite unusual to see one, especially about Northern Ireland. The footrest looks great as well. I've had my eye on one for a while. How long did it take to arrive roughly?

Around 3 weeks sounds about right 👍

The perforated sections really don’t look as red to the naked eye as they do on the photos :huh:

They look much better than the usual VW leather in a GTI :smiley: Do they have the drawer under the front seats? Looks like it's missing, not that you can get much in there anyway other than a small slice of Battenberg....

No, the Battenburg holders have gone :grin:

Shocking :shocked: Seriously though, is there just a gap or a panel instead of the drawer? Bl@@dy bean counters :rolleyes:

Off topic, but bean counter / cost cutting related, I’ve read on one of the other Golf forums with predominantly USA members, that the glove box is no longer lined with the black felt type material on USA Golfs. Also, the new Polo no longer gets the grab handles mounted above the doors in the headlining, and like the T-roc, it has hard plastic door cards, although unlike the T-roc, it does get soft touch plastics on the dashboard.
All these cost cutting measures don’t bode well for next generation models.......... :shocked:

They look bloody fantastic. Thanks for the photos mate.
They make the difference between art velours and leather easier to take.
